Monkey Race is a Party Game in each of the games of the Super Monkey Ball series except Monkey Ball, Super Monkey Ball Jr., Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz and Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD. In Super Monkey Ball 2 it was called Monkey Race 2. In it, the Monkeys race around the course, in their traditional Monkey balls, and use items and boost pads to go faster and sabotage their opponents.
Wiggling the control stick on your controller if you get hit by an enemy item to recover from "paralyzed" status is a feature only present in Monkey Race 2.
